A stones throw from Lumpini station & park. Neighborhood is fairly peaceful, a welcome respite from BKK's hustle & bustle. If u need a proper cup of (western) coffee the charita cafe just across the road is excellent. Surrounded by embassies and the area has a very cosmopolitan vibe with a number of hipster cafes & eateries including the very cool hip hop sushi. Evan also provides detailed guide to getting around Bangkok very useful for first timers
